Oh, this has nothing to do with how kiddie-fied it is because, well, Super Sentai has always been a kid's show! Indeed, the earlier years of Super Sentai were probably on par with what we're about to see once more in "Kyoryuger". It probably wasn't until around the time of "Liveman"- the Series' 10th Anniversary, BTW- that they started getting more serious, dramatic, and somewhat 'dark'. "Go-Onger" was also pretty loose and silly, and before that was "CarRanger", "OhRanger", and "ZyuRanger".
I have no qualms about that whatsoever, and I can easily follow or ignore the TV series itself as I see fit.

My issue with "Kyoryuger" right now lies in the toy line, which looks atrocious. I liked almost none of the toys from "GekiRanger", yet it was one of my favorite Super Sentai Series ever.

I just want to state for the record, as the poster of this article, that there is nothing wrong with kiddy Super Sentai series. There is also nothing wrong with serious Super Sentai. Both types have seen their share of popularity. For instance, Toei was on the verge of cancelling the Super Sentai series after Fiveman. Enter Jetman, one of the more mature Super Sentai ever made. If you have watched the entire series ,you know that this series, unlike many others, did not pull any punches. It was a huge success and saved Super Sentai series from going away.

Now I think it is quite the opposite. Gobusters proved that serious Super Sentai just do not have the popularity they once did. So Toei is appealing to the younger audiences with a more lighthearted story. Toei is looking to change things up, in hopes of creating the next big series that will help them get out of the slump they are currently in.

It is a good strategy if you do not want to the spend money right away. But if this series does take off, getting the Kyoryujin might become an expensive endeavor, like the Shinken Oh was for a while. That's why I am buying in on the ground level on this one and hoping I enjoy the toy.
